About the Author

Space and time are simply natural concepts.

They are non-materials.

They do not belong to the world of materials and,

therefore, they cannot be affected by materials.

—Thanh G. Nguyen

Thanh Nguyen disagrees with the mainstream perspective of relativistic space-time. Based on years of study and his own original work, he believes that time cannot be dilated and space cannot be curved by matter.

One could say that the author’s distinct view on the invariability of space and time has been shaped by his many experiences with survival and death. Born in the Republic of Vietnam to a Bien-Hoa City police officer and a housewife, Nguyen witnessed the horrific consequences of the Vietnam War as a child.

In 1985, ten years after the fall of Saigon, Nguyen and thirty-eight others escaped communist Vietnam as refugees on a leaky, worn, five-by-twenty-foot wooden boat. This freedom came at a high price. For many stormy days and nights among dreadful waves and violent winds, these exhausted people wandered powerlessly and hopelessly into the vast Pacific Ocean and awaited what seemed to be inevitable and imminent death.

Nguyen still remembers vividly that when he and the others were drifting on the sea, the stormy nights were so dark that it was entirely black. The fierce gusty winds shrieked around, and the formidable angry waves towered over them. The suffering boat was wobbly escalating and then plunging nonstop in the relentless, roaring water. Attentively listening to miserable voices released from despondent people who were faintly groaning, crying and praying in despair, he sadly wondered from the bottom of his heart: What is the destiny of these people? Why is human life so frail? Why do we all have to die here, amid this immense ocean, buried under thousands of cold, huge waves?

After seven days and nights of struggling for survival, the refugees were finally rescued by a humanitarian captain and his team of sailors on a British commercial ship. They landed in Pusan City, Republic of Korea.

In 1987, Nguyen resettled in the United States. Once his new life became stable, he tried to find the answers to his questions in Buddhism, and he recognized and accepted the Buddhist beliefs of space and time are absolute.

In 1997, he enrolled at Worcester State College in Massachusetts, where he was introduced to the theory of relativity. He learned that most scientists support Albert Einstein’s theory. Although Nguyen could accept the famous equation E = mc2, he could not agree that space and time can be influenced because they are non-materials.

Continuing his studies independently, he developed his own way to derive the famous equation from his perspective of invariant space and time, which he has laid out scientifically in this book.

Nguyen’s genuine views of human beings, society, the world and the universe have evolved in his heart and mind throughout his life. It is these views on life that have inspired his work.

Thanh Nguyen lives in Massachusetts with his wife and three children.

Tác phẩm:Beyond the World of Relativity to the World of Invariance

Most people think Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity implies his famous equation E = mc2. Is this thinking quite true? In fact, the implication was established on both relativistic space-time and three-dimensional space & absolute time. Because the natural world cannot be both relativistic and absolute, Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence violates the uniqueness of the reality. This problem ought to be solved.

Beyond the World of Relativity to the World of Invariance explores the wonderful realm of absolute space and time, as well as proposes a simple way to derive the mass-energy equivalence genuinely and convincingly.

This book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Introduction: Discovering the World of Invariance

In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton and other natural philosophers developed classical mechanics, which became an accurate theory describing the motion of macroscopic objects under the action of forces. Then in the late nineteenth century, the Scottish mathematician and scientist James Clerk Maxwell proposed his theory of electromagnetism. He successfully predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate in free space with a constant speed.

The constancy of the speed of light was considered a point of conflict between electromagnetism and classical Newtonian mechanics, and some scientists devised new ideas to reconcile the discrepancy.

The most impressive of these was the theory of relativity published by the German-born American scientist Albert Einstein in the early twentieth century. After Einstein’s theory had gained support from physicists, the equation E = mc2 became a legend, and the theory of relativity became a pillar of modern physics.

The revolution in science that Einstein sparked was a revolution of perspective. The perspective of absolute space and time that had prevailed in Newtonian mechanics was displaced by the perspective of relativistic space-time in Einstein’s theory.

While studying the theory of relativity, I realized it is not the only way in which the equation E = mc2 can be derived. It can also be derived from fundamental physical concepts in Newtonian mechanics within the framework of absolute space and time, as outlined in this book.

I call this new idea that I have developed the theory of invariance.

In physics, every theory is a consistent conceptual picture describing the natural world. With the theory of relativity, the reality is a beautiful, multicolor, polygonal world. In contrast, the theory of invariance displays pure and delicate sceneries of nature.

So please join me on the Ship of Invariance to take a journey of discovery into a distinct world, a world of absolute space and time.
